The poll to end all polls (probably)

[stringjunior]

My chef mate always thought it was:

You fillet my seabass
like a man eating faggots
Like the breast of roast woodcock
And a garlicky snail
Like a night out in Sheffield
And a greasy chip butty
My beautiful seabass
Come fillet again

...maybe.......

As a kid in the late 80's I thought it was maggots and fill. Thrill makes sense if it were written by a song writer rather than a half pissed football fan. Once I learned magnet was a beer it made sense that it should have been magnet all along.

I saw a post on facebook of an old bar price list and magnet was the expensive beer. It was old as it was still only about 12p a pint. However, as continental rarity had not become a reason for adding 50p on my pint I imagine it was more because it was the strongest - which also makes sense.

Does anyone know where I can get the ring tone

 

[Punk Blade]

How many 'na's at the end?

 

[cal the blade]

Anglers in Sheffield, Sheffield being the angling capital of the universe, buy (or bought) their bait - maggots - by the gallon, and it filled up their senses as they were off for a days fishing.

So there

maggots tend to be sold in pints(just like magnet wouldve been i know ) but a gallon of magnet would make more sense as it would suggest getting pissed (and seen as the songs about smoking and going out downtown seems to make sense it would be magnet) wereas if u took a gallon of maggots fishing your being extremely optimistic and likely to be dissapointed
so there

Basically anybody that didn't choose A/1 needs to have an ice cold bath, wake up then go and support Wednesday.

Muppets.

On a more serious note.

Its about a night out in town.
A packet of fags
Some snuff
And obviously beer.

I don't know anybody that goes out and takes a box of maggots to go with their fags??

Maybe its because the young UN's these days don't drink bitter or take snuff.

To get he point across the 2015 version would probably be...

Gallon of Carling
Like a drag on an e-cig
And a good line of sniff....

See - no fucking maggots in sight

no maggots in sight.
No thrilling to sadden my eye.....

6 - then an 'ooo'

 

[Dkc]

It's a shit song anyway. I didn't mind it when it was just one of our many Blades songs, but dislike it a lot more since it's been taken over by the club's commercial dept and become our "official anthem". I hate the way it's played at the start of each half. If Newcastle did the same with Bladen Races, or Liverpool with Never Walk Alone, people would think it was tacky.

 

[FTPE]

I feel bad changing my stance but I do sing "fill" at the end to be fair, just thought "thrill" sounded better.
The magnet part isn't even up for debate in my eyes

 

[FTPE]

6 - then an 'ooo'

Although it's getting less, and faster each year.

 

[BornOnShorehamStreet]

You see, it started out as maggots and then, due to people becoming auditorily challenged, or the singers being pissed and slurring their words, naturally maggots morphed into Magnet, and even later, Magners.

QED

Liverpool do play it before kick off. But, they play the full song a few minutes before and fade the song out as the teams go up to take the kick off. all the fans are singing along and when the whistle blows are still singing it.

That's how we should do it. It is our anthem, we should play it loud before every game. IN FULL. Not just the first 5 words like some tacky American Ice Hockey team.

 

[stringjunior]

Looking at the results and the clear majority in favour of fill and magnet, are all you other losers going to change what you sing?

I fucking hope so. I mean, come on now

 

[Barney]

Ok this is one thing where you're definitely wrong. The song is known as the GCB or Greasy Chip Butty. It's based on a John Denver song known as Annies Song...

Keep up

yeah sorry, title was the wrong word, should of used 'opening line', my mistake

But we're incapable of singing along in time to the full song. Just think back to the shambles at Wembley last year.

Clearly not many musicians at the lane. If we were to sing along to the whole song people need to realise they need to wait after 'magnet', 'snuff', 'butty' and 'again'.

I personally have never taken my fags anywhere without a my maggots...................But there again I've never sloked so never taken any fags in any case[/QUOTE]

Absolutely not..It's not my fault most in the ground don't know the words.

Maggots, definitely maggots

Who decided it's now our anthem? I preferred the song we used to come out to, Rose Garden. Why was that one banished? It seems more apt than all this strange talk of maggots and Magners, thrills and fills. I

 

[georgebernardshaw]

Rose Garden - a classic

It's still maggots though.........

It is the song we are known for.

Liverpool are known because they sing You'll never walk alone.

West Ham sing about some "babbles"

People often say when you mention you support the Blades. "Oh what's that song about the chip butties?"

so there

Couple of points to make here cal.

As you said, if you took a gallon of maggots fishing you're being extremely optimistic and likely to be disappointed - Just like being a Blade then

And it making sense - brings me on to another of our well known songs. How can Jack Charlton be dead if the year is 1889? - he's not been born
